Weekly Contest #309
Nathan walked alone along a quiet street. The air was calm. The stars twinkled overhead. He paused at the street corner. Here was a shop he had never seen before, and yet the sign was faded. He often walked this street when feeling lost and lonely. And lately, he had found himself wandering these streets more and more often. He was looking for something, or someone. He didn’t entirely know.The faded sign told him that the shop was called Amenah’s Coffee. Amenah. He’d had a dream about a girl named Amenah before. Before he knew what he was do...
Weekly Contest #308
Once, when she was seven, she would run in the summer sun, hair whipping in the wind. Olivia would run after butterflies and blow on dandelions. Sometimes, she would walk around the block, looking at windows to see what other people were doing. Other times, she would watch the boy next door.

Weekly Contest #179
Late at night, loud laughter emanates from the club where people cheer and talk loudly while the barman pours drink after drink. The door swings open and a man steps in. He is dressed all in black with a ski mask hiding his face and a revolver at his belt. He stands just inside the doorway, head held high while the disco lights blare and deafening music plays. Without warning, he pulls out his revolver and the whole room falls silent. He aims the gun at the barman’s heart and fires. The barman is dead before his head hits the floor, one hand...
